the sail max velocity stat doesn't do anything, many have tested it, needs fix.

plz don't try to carebear this up more than they did already

I know that not being able to see ships from a distance is both for technical reasons as well as gameplay but if you could make it so you can see other ships as far as you can see in the same grid, even if they are blurry blobs because of technical reasons, it would make the game a lot more interesting, having to comb entire grids when you're looking for fights is very tedious, when I played I ended up mostly just attacking docked ships because spotting ones out and about was rare, even though i played during the first months of launch when population was at it's highest. This would be good due to the low population. You could also do something like looking through the scope allows you to see ships at any distance, so there would be a point to have a spotter in the crow's nest.

our company isn't even really a 'mega' and we still have to be kicking players that havn't signed in because of the cap

there should be at least 1 more ship between brig and gally cuz its like brig is 5k more resources than schooner then gally costs the same as about 5 brigs, huge jump in cost with nothing in-between.. I just hope that they focus on naval combat and not make everything about tames like ark, its already pretty tame heavy, ground combat revolves around tames but the biggest problem still is the lag when theres over 100 players on a grid.. the battles just are more work than fun when dealing with that

Agreed, there was no 15 min warning, only a 2 hour one.. everyone assumed there would be at least a 5 min warning.. especially before a giant patch

there was no 15 minute warning, there was like a 5 second warning with no rollback wtf?

So somehow some people were able to patch super fast on this 6gb patch and there was no rollback, so we lost a bunch of ships because one or 2 of the enemies got on like 30 minutes before anyone else was able to.. rollback the servers

The meta is all about dragons now, rip ship combat.. if a fleet attacks just get a dragon.. soon cyclopses and fire elementals tf? CAN'T WE HAVE A SIMPLE SHIP COMBAT GAME? ARK is your tame combat game, come tf on wildcard. Remove dragons from being tamed and don't add cyclopses and w/e tf else, just stop. OR make it so dragons take 40k gold, plus 18 hours of feeding it prime meat only or something. They need to be more difficult to obtain because the way it is, all you need is 40 people on sloops farming 1k gold each for an hour or 2 and bang out dragons non stop. Even the people using dragons don't like it but are like *shrug* its the meta.

Should 'Dragon/Cyclopse/Fire Elemental' Tames Be in This Game? I feel like the dragons are ruining this game, currently we're fighting with mega companies and they're farming up multiple.. about 3-5 dragons per day.. yes we can kill them but the games not about ship combat anymore, its about fighting dragons and the ships are useless against them even with dragon defenses. I quit ark because it became all about 'who has the craziest tames' now that's what this is becoming and it sucks because it had a lot of potential to be an awesome ship combat game, why ruin it with giant game breaking tames, isn't ship combat pvp enough??

The current meta is planting barrel bombs on ships, gliding onto them or glitching into lower deck and placing them there. I'm telling everyone so it becomes so widespread and cancerous they have to fix it.

Right now the high level meta is... people glitching into lower deck of ship and planting barrel bombs, or if there is no swivels protecting the top deck it is easy for someone to place a barrel there before being killed.. I think it would be a huge improvement to no longer allow barrels to be built on enemy ships so there can be some real actual ship to ship combat instead of this dumb bs..? I want to fight with cannons, not wing suits and barrels.. Seriously this barrel bomb thing should not be a thing, its not fun to give or receive it but its by far the most effective strategy.

I agree ghost ships in pvp servers is very annoying. Earlier my crew almost lost a galleon to them, and we lost a schooner sacrificing it to save the crippled galleon..

Ghost ships (ships of the damned) are not necessary in the pvp servers at least, theres enough pve on land.. all they do is make it extremely annoying to navigate.. I want to fight players not ghost ships, and a lot of players are even scared to sail their ships because of them, even though their spawns have been nerfed multiple times, we still run into at least 3 when crossing each server, usually a lot more. Please just get rid of them (on pvp servers, pve servers might need them) OR make them extremely rare but more powerful.

just because someone is better at the game then you doesn't mean they're hacking, exploiting maybe but not hacking It's really not hard to get guns and bows. Bottom line is, they arn't hacking anymore than anyone else is.. whoever says they are is just salty about being rolled over by a dominant force.

They arn't hacking, just working together.. aimbot is built into the game, just press left alt to lock onto someone

I'm getting this too, when respawning my screen just became a view of the ocean, so i exit to menu and now i can't get back in at all

bump this is true many people who had set their home to a region that was broken for the first 2 days couldn't log in at all. So many got an unfair advantage from the start. I think all claims should be reset. There are probably a lot of claims from people who quit already but now its going to take 1 hour 30-40? minutes to reclaim them, assuming noone disrupts the claim. Also I think this over claim timer is a little ridiculous, you should be able to destroy the flags instead but they have a lot of hp or something.. or the more people standing on the claim site the faster the timer goes down.
